Group has now split into 2 big groups with one closest to me doing 4 point kicking which then finishes in the middle group who kicks up to full forward. Clarry is one of those leading forwards along Smith and Tom McDonald.  

Lewis, Spargo, Gawn hardly missing targets.

Dom, JKH, Pedi and Baker also kicking well.

 

Interesting given Clarry was rested at Full Forward a couple of times in Darwin.

I like Clarry resting forward.

A live training report. Brilliant!

Is Balic out there?

Many thanks @dazzledavey36

 

Now that you mention it no he isn't??

Dom is in the group in front of me and he just looks like a dejected man..

You have to wonder if anything is going on is Dom's life that is affecting his form.  He has always been a confident, talented guy. Since Oliver and now Gus have moved inside mid, he cannot really play any other role.  If I was him I would move to a team that needs some inside mids and I'd wish him all the best

The session has finished but the guys who played at Casey are doing some boundary line run throughs. Though Kent and Vanders are doing goal kicking practice with some forward while Goody stands on the mark and watches on.

Jones just doing extra touch with Ben Matthews.

Prob going to be wet on the weekend, need Lewis in the mid fresh airing balls of the ground ?

Melbourne area

Mostly sunny. Patchy morning fog, mostly in northern and eastern suburbs. Slight (20%) chance of a shower in the northwest suburbs, near zero chance elsewhere. Light winds becoming northerly 20 to 30 km/h during the morning.

 

Hope Stretch is ok. Would hate for him to be an out due to injury, after he just came back and showed some good signs!

Look, i didnt think they were sluggish, but i also think they would have had better training days then today. Was a bit windy at times so skills were also a bit sloppy.

Everyone seemed to move well but? The only issue is no Stretch in the track.

You're on fire here @dazzledavey36.  Cheers for the great reports throughout the training session.

Might be hard to answer, but, did you get any sort of indication of possible changes to this weeks side, or was it training as normal?

DD36 moving to Melbourne to take over the training reports and doing a sterling job.

Satys worst nightmare has become reality.

I would think it would be minimal. Joel Smith was doing some work with Crossy at the start but later joined in the main group. So he'll be fine.

Unless something is up with Stretch i can't see any changes made.

MIA was Satman today...

People have been calling for Baker to be included, did you think he looked a chance?

Vince a chance?

Baker looked and trained well. Even while the skills were a bit sloppy, he was hitting his targets and doing everything right. I didn't see his VFL game on the weekend but i wouldnt be opposed to him coming into the side and adding some class and speed on the outside.

I would have thought if Smith hadn't come up today with that hip then maybe Vince was a chance.. but i think therell be minimal to no change this week.

I was beside a tree looking quite dodgy, so i dont think anyone was game to shout me a coffee!

Also good to see Anthony McDonald down there watching on with Todd Viney. 


Cheers daz.

Did you spot McKenna, and if so, what does he look like?

Nah jokes.

Did Hoges look in good touch? We need the big fella up and about if we’re going to finish inside the 8.

Much sign of fatigue from the trip to the red centre?

Hoges looking fit and ready to go! I reckon he is due for a bag this weekend! Just looks so confident. 

Tommy Mac was having shots for goal and kept missing them.. along woth Fritsch also who was not hitting right in the middle. Hopefully just blowing a few cobwebs out before the weekend.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
